Hi all,
this is a rather heated report on how the process for Go modules looked like from the perspective of the author of a rejected alternative: https://twitter.com/sdboyer/status/1034893100450291713 <https://twitter.com/sdboyer/status/1034893100450291713>
This is rather lengthy but the main take aways are:
- BDFL process lacks transparency;
- a proposal needs clear phases through which it flows to avoid giving a false impression of progress;
- toxic process alienates dedicated contributors;
- proverbs/koans adopted by community sometimes hide user pain.
All of the above are relevant to Python.
CALL TO ACTION: doesn't look like we have anybody volunteering to cover Go, do we? It seems our survey would be incomplete without that case study.
